It’s really frustrating to have a mere handful of parts in some color (for instance, I think I have exactly two purple 1x2 bricks from some Harry Potter set and no other purple (leaving aside some minifig torsos)), so you can never build MOCs with these color schemes. I suppose the answer is that I should get more creator buckets and odd sets like the pumpkin set or Belville sets to get more “odd” colors.

I don’t think it’s fair to say that you could “never” build a MOC with those color schemes. I built this house with only purple parts from 6 copies of the Mini Knight’s Bus. I’d guess that you could build a house from one copy of the larger bus.

I’ve purposely gone out of my way to build houses in strange colors, using a limited palate of pieces. Colors used so far: Medium Blue, Sand Blue, Maersk Blue, Purple, Light Yellow, Teal. The medium blue house uses 1x4s and maybe some 1x2s, the light yellow was just 1x2s and a few 2x4s, the teal is all 1x2s. I think I had a broader choice of pieces in Maersk, but those weren’t my bricks.

I guess I’m just trying to say that you can build creations in strange colors, but the pieces you have will shape the creation some.
